Warner Hosts PT3 Information Exchange


Anne Perrault, Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to Use Technology (PT3) director welcomed Catherine Thurston, PT3 director at the University of Illinois College of Education, to Warner, for a collaborative exchange in November.

Participating in the exchange were various faculty members and Raffaella Borasi, dean. The purpose of the exchange was to share innovative practices, information, and ideas for improving the technological proficiency of future teachers and faculty.

As part of the exchange, Thurston visited Holmes Road Elementary School in Greece, one of nine PT3 demonstration sites partnered with Warner. Thurston also heard presentations from various faculty on several new technology integration courses, as well as upgrades on technological resources at Warner.

The Warner School looks forward to continued collaboration with the University of Illinois College of Education. The 2003 conference of the National Association of Counselor Educators and Supervisors was held in Canandaigua, N.Y. in October. Kathryn Douthit, assistant professor, counseling and human development, was the site coordinator, and many Warner faculty and students presented at the conference.
